Conference Presentations

While higher education in the United States is an aspiration for students from around the globe, it is currently also facing domestic scrutiny. Shifting legislative priorities have incentivized public universities to diversify funding sources and seek greater efficiency, especially in regards to capital facilities. George Mason University (GMU), the largest public research university in the Commonwealth of Virginia, has adopted partnerships as a strategic priority. GMU’s realization of this priority creates interconnections between students, faculty, governments, and the community to produce new facilities and opportunities.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Recognize recent pressing challenges that face U.S. higher education.
2. Detail the GMU strategic plan approach with an emphasis on partnerships.
3. Discuss how the partnership strategy is instantiated in GMU’s approach to new capital projects.
4. Develop familiarity with some specific projects at GMU that exemplify the partnership strategy.
